What is CSA?
CSA is COMMUNITY SHARED AGRICULTURE
A group of individuals pledge support to a local farm operation so that the food produced is ‘shared’ among the group. Both the grower and consumers share the risks and benefits of food production. Members buy their ‘share’ in the spring, paying for their summer’s produce when funds are needed to start a new year of growing.
In return, members receive:
- weekly shares in the farm’s bounty throughout the growing season
- the satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production
By direct sales to community members, who have provided the farmer with working capital in advance, growers:
- receive better prices for their crops
- gain some financial security
- are able to concentrate on crop production instead of marketing
Sold Out for the 2023 Season
